"It's an 80's movie, I expect to see boobs!" 😂 Hands up who had a crush on callahan? 😉

"It's not an '80s movie without boobs." Thank you for keeping us abreast of things, Jen.

I got to meet G W Bailey twice. My friend attended the same church and was good friends with his son Martin. The first time I met him we had stopped by his to pick up Martin, on our way to see Iron Maiden. When we walked into the house GW was sitting on a Lazy-Boy Recliner and before Martin could introduce us he turned to us and said, (LOUDLY in his gravely voice) " NO!!!!! My head did NOT go up the horse's ass!'. The second time we stopped by pick up Martin, We were in the living room and GW walked out of the kitchen and handed us sodas. When I said thank you. He said, "I'm not being generous! I'm trying to fill you little bastards up so you have less room for beer!".

The blue oyster tango is still so distinct 40 years later.

It's totally juvenile but that podium scene never fails to make me laugh. George Gaynes' performance is hysterical.

“It’s an 80s movie, I expect to see some boobs!” 😂 Jen Murray has quickly become my favorite KZfaqr!

'Going to The Blue Oyster' became something of a slang phrase, amongst kids, for a few years following this movie.

Michael Winslow (aka Jones aka the sound effects guy) was in Spaceballs, which actually came out 3 years after this did. He is one of a kind. I wish we had more original talented ppl like him today - he's still alive but retired I guess

Yes, Jones was in spaceballs. His name is Michael Winslow and everyone went to High School with him.

Yes, the special effects guy who played Larvell Jones was comedian Michael Winslow, who also appeared in Spaceballs.

One of the true comedy classics. The entire cast did a hell of a job. I met Bubba Smith ( Hightower ) during my bodyguard days many years ago. He was a class act.

High Tower's real name is Bubba Smith, former defensive lineman for the former Baltimore Colts back in the 60s and 70s.

I think the second is worth watching as the film that introduced Bobcat Goldthwait to the world. You will probably recognize his unique voice. Most of the cast also returns.

40 years ago. This one along with Beverly Hills Cop. When unorthodox comedies about police were golden. P.A. had so many characters with so many personalities. Great direction and writing for it's genre. 12 of the people involved have passed away, some of them part of the franchise for most of the films. Director of the first installment, the late Hugh Wilson does a cameo (Angry Driver). 1+6 sequels within a decade and the first film was the highest-grossing. The content was dumbed down and marketed to kids as an animated series (1988-1989) with tie-in comics and video games. Also a short-lived series continuation (1997-1998) of the films with some castmembers reprising their roles. All of them are good with their own craziness. Go ahead and watch 'em all.

4:40 Hey Jen, when you'd pointed out earlier about the kid that was wearing a M.A.S.H. t-shirt, the actor who played Lieutenant Harris was actually part of the cast of the TV adaptation of M.A.S.H.

The podium scene is classic, but you did skip over one of my favorites when Tackleberry is hitting himself in the stomach then asks Barbra to hit him, so he slaps him across the face, hilarious.

Fun fact: 13:30 In the shotgun range when Leslie Barbra points the shotgun at the other cadets, the ONLY one who doesn't duck is Tackleberry. That's because he's a massive gun nut and knows that Barbara's shotgun didn't have a new round racked into the chamber and thus couldn't be fired.

G.W. Bailey (Lt. Harris) and Kim Cattrall also appeared together in “Mannequin.”

Hightower, who was played to perfection by Bubba Smith was a recently retired NFL football player. He was notouriuos for being the biggest, baddest, meanest, defensive lineman in the league when he played. Just like Alex Karris before him who played Mongo in Blazing Saddles Being a Honda Civic driver at the time which was basically a tin can on wheels, I loved it when he tore out the front seat so he could fit into the car.

Just a shame so many have passed, Bubba Smith, David Graf, George Gains, Marion Ramsey to name a few.😊

I'm so old... I remember the actor playing Lassard, the old man in charge who was lousy w/ numbers, was also on a show called Punky Brewster back in the early/mid 80s w/ an actress Soleil Moon Frye

The idea for this movie came when the producer, Paul Maslansky, worked on THE RIGHT STUFF and needed many cops for a scene. The state provided them with cadets from the Police Academy. When they arrived on their busses, Maslansky noticed that they "didn't look like cops". They were big, small, old, very young, fat, and too thin. The present Police Captain smiled and told him: "We have to accept them as applicants, but nothing says that we must pass them".

14:44 This reminds me of skit on "The Carol Burnett Show" when a bank teller, a bank robber, and a cop all have to supervise newbies on their first day, and they all run into each other when the robbers try to stick up a bank. The rookie bank robber (played by Tim Conway) pulls out his revolver and yells "This is a screw up, so don't anybody stick around!"

police academy is such a classic! it should be mandatory for all reaction channels. 😂

During the 80s it was like there was no other movie on the network channels. Up in south-east Queensland there is the MovieWorld theme park that pays tribute to Police Academy, ever since it opened.

24:49 _"Don't move, dirtbag!"_ Check it out! She found her _outdoor_ voice! And you know, in a dicey situation, looks like she has good instincts.

3:12 "Aren't there a _bunch_ of these movies? Like _five_ or something?" Yes. And each one is a _little_ more slap-sticky than the last.

My cousin and I always quoted Harris when he says “MOVE IT MOVE IT MOVE IT”. We also regularly quote Police Academy 7.

total classic Jen. Yeah Michael Winslow was also in Spaceballs. He's a national treasure IMO.

Fun Fact on Hightower’s car flip, you can see the engine was removed but still impressive. The original Jeep design included the Idea that two troopers should be able to change a tire without a jack but a police cruiser is a sedan and nearly twice the weight.

There's 7 movies and spoiler alert, if you watch the 3rd one you'll see Fackler and his wife re-enact that scene except he's the one chasing her and trying to stop her from joining, lol.

I saw Michael Winslow live at a comedy club in Winnipeg back in 1991...then he was on AGT a couple years back...

I love the Police Academy films. 1-3 are the best with Zed from 2 onwards. My 80's guilty pleasure films.

That theme song is one of my favorite movie themes of all time. I did like part 2 and 3 if that helps. Cool reaction!

Yes, Micheal Winslow, the sound effect guy from Spaceballs, this is where most of us first met him.

The lady in the podium was in fact real life adult movie star Georgina Spelvin. It was so fun watching this movie to see the reactions of Dads and Uncles etc who recognised her LOL

These movies were a staple of my teen years. There's a character named "Proctor" who shows up in the next few. He's very funny.

It was good to see Bubba Smith, the big guy. He was a very good NFL defensive end for the Colts, Oilers, and Raiders.

I seen this a million times but it was the first time I noticed Tac didn’t move when Barbara turned around with the shotgun. Tac obviously knew he hadn’t racked another round in the chamber.

The Blue Oyster Bar is my favorite running gag in this series. Funniest in the first film, but welcome in the sequels too.

My absolute favourite scene is Lassard laughing at the shoe polish. I can rewatch that over and over, and over.

Lassard was so MVP in this first PA instalment. I was 23 when this came out, my then future ex-wife and I laughed our 1980's butts off. Went home, watched a channel called MTv that showed cool music videos.....HBO, Cinemax was the go to w/e entertainment. Gahd I miss those awesome years. Gr8 reaction as always my dear.

Lassard: Training is 14 weeks. Jen: Thats a lot. Europe: Training is at least 2yrs.

one thing that I thought was funny about this movie at 13:30 Tackleberry doesn't get down after Leslie's accidental discharge because he's a gun person and knows the next round is not chamber yet.

Another of my favorite movies. I was 13 when this came out. Steve Guttenberg was great as Mahoney. And Michael Winslow(yes, he was in Spaceballs) as Jones was great. I just recently found out that Steve Guttenberg's father was a police officer. That is pretty cool.

Jen: Where did he send them? The scene in the bar. Jen: I see.)) Jen: What will he do? The scene with Lassard. Jan: I see.)) Me: Jen's face is priceless when she says "I see".)) P.S. Miss Murray, watch the movie Leon: The Professional (1994). Have fun. And a little awkwardness.

They made seven of these movies, there was also a live action TV series, and an animated series.

@ 7:48 Yes!😁 That Is Michael Winslow. This Is Probably The Movie That Made Him Famous , Because "Spaceballs" Came Out 3 Years Later In 1987!😁🤓🙂☺️ I Remember 🤔 My Classmate At Collierville High School 🏫 🎒 In 1986 , Used To Go "No!!!!!!!!!!!!" Like The Guy In This Movie!😳😁😅😂🤣 So I Rented This Movie From 'Blockbuster Video'🏪📼' 🚶🏻🚲In 1986. Oh My Goodness I Loved Growing Up In The 1980's. I Am Typing This At 6:58 p.m. , May 8 , 2024.

Yes Jen. He is Mr "I lost the beeps, I lost the sweeps and I lost the creeps".

I remember this being filmed in the Kensington Market district of my stomping grounds of Toronto! 😁 Pure nostalgia here... Lol

3:14 "Aren't There A Bunch Of These Movies, Like 5 Or Something?" That's correct, Jen. There's actually 7 "Police Academy" Movies in total

Jen needs to sign up for the Police Academy. Also, never touch an apple! They're dangerous🤣

3:00 - 3:04 The guy who hits his wife with his briefcase is Bruce Mahler. You may also know him as the rabbi on Seinfeld who couldn't keep Elaine's secrets.

Sound effects dude Michael Winslow did come out of retirement in recent years to compete on the U.S. talent TV show "America's Got talent". Police can expect to spend up to 26 weeks in police academy in Toronto, where this is supposed to take place. There are 7 Police Academy films. The first two or three are pretty good, IMO.

15:51 Don't you love how the other cadets keep bringin' their problems to Mahoney.

Hi Jen, great reaction to this comedy classic! The Police Academy movies are hilarious, please continue the franchise with 2, 3 & 4 :) So funny and they're underrated imo. You're looking gorgeous as always :)

Glad you enjoyed PA Jen. I sure would watch you react to the sequels, especially 2 and 3. Have a great evening

"It's not an 80's movie w/o 🍰🍰 I expect to see 🍰🍰"🤣🤣🤣🤣

Here in Denmark basic police training is 2 years and 4 months

This was the first movie that I ever watched on VHS. I remember my parents coming home with a VHS recorder and this movie. Man, was the 8 year old me having fun. That was almost 40 years ago...

"That looks like Harris! Should we shoot back?" *thinks about it* Nah.... I'd love to see you react to more!

The music in the blue oyster bar scene is absolutely iconic

I love pretty much anything G.W. Bailey is in. And he's been in a metric ton of movies and TV shows! He is one of the highlights of this movie.

This movie was filmed up in Canada and was low budget. It actually did very well. G W Bailey who was Harris said best movie he was ever a part of. Loved working with Steve Guttenberg. The two linked up again in the 1986 comedy Short Circuit. You will like that movie

When they went to film the riot sequence at the end the needed a "bad part of town" but the worst one they could find in Toronto wasn't bad enough so they had to set dress it to make it look rougher

2:26 "Hello, there. I'm Captain Mustache. I have no hair on my head except for my very prominent mustache. Now excuse me. I must _dash."_

Definitely the typical 80’s comedy. Not that I am complaining

The man who directed this film was Hugh Wilson. He was also responsible for the TV series WKRP in Cincinnati! 😎

At the very least watch 2 and 3. Definitely worth seeing!

Fantastic reaction! There are 7 of them, i love the first 6, in particular 1, 4, and 6. I first saw this when i was 6, i grew up with these in the 80s. I hope you decide to watch more.

sound effects guy.. Michael Winslow... he was indeed in spaceballs.... I recommend watching some of his standup routine

Michael Winslow was also on America's Got Talent.

That song in the Blue Oyster club has stayed irrevocably linked with that scene since I saw it decades ago.

I love your enthusiasm for every single movie. You're one of my favorites..!!

Commandant Lassard at the podium getting mystery head was the funniest scene for e. The facial reactions were great. I love at the end , Jen says, the music was her favorite part. That does not say much for the movie itself. haha

One of the writers was Pat Proft, who indeed also worked on Police Squad and The Naked Gun.

Good looking out for watching this movie because it is still one of my most favorite ones from the 80s. When this movie was released on March 23, 1984, in the US, I was 6 going on 7 years old in the second grade. I probably shouldn't have watched this and lot of stuff back then at that age, but I did. A lot of kids watched this movie and the others, especially since there was a Police Academy cartoon a few years later in 1988. I believe I somehow seen this movie on HBO or VHS first even though I don't remember exactly when, but I've seen them on both. That's because it took about 1 to 2 years for movies to make it to VHS and sometimes longer for television in the 80s. The movies would premiere on Cable TV before regular tv. Anyway, those were the days. I hope you continue to watch the sequels, at least up to Police Academy 4. Good day. 👍

Kim Catterall and G.W.Bailey (Captain Harris) were in another 80s comedy together, which was the comedy film Mannequin (1987) which is well worth a watch.

The most iconic thing from this film is the Blue Oyster, which is a running joke throughout the series. Great reaction. Have a nice day.

Yes Jen watch part 2

07:13 yes, that's Michael Winslow

We used to hire the Police Academy movies all the time at the store on VHS. These and the Friday the 13th movies were big in the 80s

Only watch #2 and #3 and stop there. It gets really bad afterwards. This is a hysterically funny movie!

Two things about the kid in the M*A*S*H shirt: 1. I had that same shirt when I was a kid 2. The actor who played Captain Harris was a series regular on M*A*S*H

These movies are mostly pretty good, but I still like them all, It's a character driven series. Some casting changes, but they mostly stay intact w/ notable additions. Great movie series.

"Ypour traiming time wil lbe 14 weeks" Jen: "That's a LOT!" *looks at 2.5 - 3 year trainign over here* ...

😄👍 I knew you'd like the visual "Diamonds Are Forever" reference at 1:25.

11:38 "I feel like this guy's gonna go crazy like- like a _Full Metal Jacket_ thing." Oh, no. Well, first, bear in mind that this movie is a comedy. Moments like that don't happen in comedies. _Full Metal Jacket,_ though, is a war drama. Second, bear in mind that this is about training at a _police_ academy. The part of _Full Metal Jacket_ to which you are referring takes place at Marine Corps Recruit Depot in Parris Island, South Carolina; two _very_ different environments that train people for _very_ different kinds of work. Third, bear in mind that Tackleberry is a _volunteer._ Lawrence was a _conscript_ who did not have the option to _resign._ Fourth, bear in mind that Lawrence snapped because he couldn't take life as a Marine and Uncle Sam couldn't see the sense in sending him home. Tackleberry, though, is a veteran. He's a gun nut, but he's a _responsible_ gun nut. What's more, he's a badass. No, Tackleberry's not in danger of snapping.

thats Michael WInslow I believe doing the sound effects, he was clever and was in a lot of htings back in the day.

"They're not going to give them all guns, right?" Immediately checking. Yep, she's Canadian.

I watched this one and 2 a billion times on cable back in the day LOL

8:11 he’s better than my wife’s calculus 1 prof. He would stand facing the board while he lectured, writing with his right hand and erasing what he wrote with the left. Hard part for my wife, she had had no exposure to calculus in high school (as most of us at Georgia Tech had) so she was trying hard to learn. The only reason she passed was he was on a probation quarter so he had to pass everyone or risk losing his tenure.

The music was taken from Patton (1970), a very good movie you should see, either for Memorial Day, Independece Day, or Veterans Day.

0:32 Yeah, that's pretty much the state of the U.S. Police Force currently (too many of them, at least). 1:06 Frankie Says Relax 2:06 Michael Winslow was also widely known in Stand-Up circles back in the day, largely because of these skills. 3:12 There were eight when I lost count, but they're unwatchable after the third. 6:16 I'm crap with guessing ages, but I'm assuming Jen is decades younger than me. That being said, she really understands the assignment when it come to 80's movies.🍈🍈 7:00 Yup, that's the same guy, and yup, that was Spaceballs. You gotta love a Nerd Girl, they work stuff out beautifully quickly.😻 9:59 Standard Police Issue would have been a .38. 10:05 That might be a .44 (with experimental exploding rounds). 13:09 Jen knows The Classics, and that's what I appreciates about her. 20:58 I've said it before and I'll say it again...Fruit is Evil.

Lasard actually liked the recruits. Over the next 5 he becomes their friend.

ah man, this is really calling back to my childhood. part 2 is probably my favorite because of 2 new characters, must watch

I was eleven or twelve when I saw this (as a New Release on VHS) and it was an instant favourite. I'm anticipating much merriment behind Jen's Serious Girl Spectacles on this one.

This is fun. It's been a long time since I watched this movie. I love it when Jen laughs. It doubles the fun. I recommend HotShots with Charlie Sheen. It's a Top Gun parody.

23:34 Well, Jen, if nothing else, Leslie proved that those guys were no longer able to bully him
